You should probably start with something like:

curl -s -S -L -b cookies -c cookies -o home.html
https://students.berkeley.edu/<https://students.berkeley.edu/myberkeley/myberkeleyapp.asp>
curl -s -S -L -b cookies -c cookies -o berkeleyapp.html -d secUserID=USERID
-d defaultsecUserID= -d secPassword=PASSWORD -d secsubmit=Submit -d
secSessionID= https://students.berkeley.edu/myberkeley/myberkeleyapp.asp
<https://students.berkeley.edu/myberkeley/myberkeleyapp.asp>

You'd want to go to the home page first to get cookies started, *then* go to
the app page.
